APPENDIX A

GENERAL SAFETY AND SAILING FIXTURES

In addition to the requirements set out in the Australian Sailing Special Regulations (Category 7), the attention of all skippers is drawn to a number of areas outlined below. Skippers are reminded of the duty of care incumbent upon them as the Master of a vessel. Crew Capabilities – Skippers should ensure that there are at least two people on board who are familiar with and capable of sailing the boat in the conditions expected during the anticipated duration of the cruise or race. Intoxication – Skippers should ensure that capabilities of all crew and passengers are not adversely affected by the excessive consumption of alcohol prior to or during any race or cruise. Aside from the obvious dangers involved, the Water Police are paying increasing attention to the consumption of alcohol on private vessels and penalties can be severe. Pre Race/Cruise Briefing – Skippers should pay particular attention to ensuring that all on board are aware of the location of safety equipment and plans in the event of an emergency such as a collision between boats or a man overboard. This is particularly important when new crew or passengers join the boat. Man Overboard Drills – All Skippers are strongly encouraged to carry out Man Overboard exercises under all conditions of sailing. Examples of proven methods may be found in the Racing Rules of Sailing. These drills should be carried out regularly and especially when there are significant changes in crew composition. Weather Conditions –The Weather Forecast will be posted on the Club Notice Board and can be checked with the Operations Manager any time leading up to an event. Skippers should take account of the experience level and number of crew available to them in the light of forecast conditions when deciding whether or not to race in any given event. In summary, all RPYC Skippers are expected to demonstrate a responsible and prudent attitude when sailing, with the safety of crew and passengers paramount.

24. BOATS RETIRING

Boats retiring shall notify the finishing officials in the Finish Box or on the Committee Boat or the Operations Manager in the Club Office as soon as reasonably possible and prior to the announcement of results. The penalty for a breach of this Rule will be at the discretion of the protest committee and applied to the race nearest in time to that of the incident. This amends rule 64.1.

Boats may not protest under this rule (Amends Rule 60.1(a) and A4.2)

25. RESULTS

Results of afternoon races will normally be announced in the wardroom at 1730 on the day of racing. Results for Wednesday races will be announced at 1800. If racing concludes earlier than normal, a signal may be made to warn competitors that the announcement of results will be brought forward. The signal will be as per SI 9.2 and comprise code flag R and two sound signals.

26. DISCLAIMER 26.1 All those taking part in races conducted by Royal Perth Yacht Club do so at their own risk

and responsibility. 26.2 The Royal Perth Yacht Club, and any sponsor and any party involved in the organisation of

the event disclaims any and every responsibility for any loss, damage, injury to persons and things, both ashore and at sea, as a consequence of participation in any way in the races covered by these Sailing Instructions.

26.3 Attention is drawn to Rule 4 which states, “The responsibility for a boat’s decision to

participate in a race or to continue racing is hers alone”.

APPENDIX B

ARBITRATION – RRS APPENDIX T

T1 POST-RACE PENALTIES (a) Provided that rule 44.1(b) does not apply, a boat that may have broken one or more rules of Part 2 or rule 31 in an incident may take a Post- Race Penalty at any time after the race until the beginning of a protest hearing involving the incident. (b) A Post-Race Penalty is a 30% Scoring Penalty calculated as stated in rule 44.3(c). However, rule 44.1(a) applies. (c) A boat takes a Post-Race Penalty by delivering to the arbitrator or a member of the protest committee a written statement that she accepts the penalty and that identifies the race number and where and when the incident occurred. T2 ARBITRATION MEETING An arbitration meeting will be held prior to a protest hearing for each incident resulting in a protest by a boat involving one or more rules of Part 2 or rule 31,but only if each party is represented by a person who was on board at the time of the incident. No witnesses will be permitted. However, if the arbitrator decides that rule 44.1(b) may apply or that arbitration is not appropriate, the meeting will not be held, and if a meeting is in progress, it will be closed. T3 ARBITRATOR’S OPINION Based on the evidence given by the representatives, the arbitrator will offer an opinion as to what the protest committee is likely to decide: (a) the protest is invalid, (b) no boat will be penalised for breaking a rule, or (c) one or more boats will be penalised for breaking a rule, identifying the boats and the penalties. T4 ARBITRATION MEETING OUTCOMES After the arbitrator offers an opinion, (a) a boat may take a Post-Race Penalty, and (b) a boat may ask to withdraw her protest. The arbitrator may then act on behalf of the protest committee in accordance with rule 63.1 to allow the withdrawal. Unless all protests involving the incident are withdrawn, a protest hearing will be held.

Racing Rules of Sailing The Basics

Sportsmanship & the rules Competitors in the sport of sailing are governed by a body of rules that they are expected to follow and enforce. A fundamental principle of sportsmanship is that when competitors break a rule they will promptly take a penalty, which may be to retire. Right of Way A boat has right of way when another boat is required to keep clear of her. Keeping Clear (a) A boat keeps clear of another if the other can sail her course with no need to take avoiding action.

(a) Blue was not keeping clear because the Right Of Way (ROW) boat (Yellow) could not sail her course.

(b) And when the boats are overlapped on the same tack, the Leeward boat must be able to change course in either direction without immediately making contact with the Windward boat.

(b)

Blue above was not keeping clear because there was immediate contact when Yellow, the boat with ROW, changed course. Avoiding Contact A boat must avoid contact with another boat if reasonably possible. Even a ROW boat must attempt to avoid contact when it becomes clear to her that the give-way boat is not keeping clear. (Rule 14)

RRS- The basics (cont.) Rule 10- on opposite tacks “When boats are on opposite tacks, a port tack boat shall keep clear of a starboard tack boat" Definition of Tack A boat is on the tack starboard or port, corresponding to her windward side.Her windward side is the side opposite the side on which her main sail lies. In the diagrams above, the yellow boats are on starboard tack and the blue boats must keep clear. Rule 11- on the same tack, overlapped “When boats are on the same tack and overlapped, a windward boat shall keep clear of a leeward boat"- Definition of Overlap Boats overlap when neither is clear astern when sailing on: (a) the same tack; (b) opposite tacks sailing off the wind or when about to round a mark; (c) when a boat between them overlaps both.

In the diagram on the left, the boats are overlapped and Blue is to windward. Rule 11 therefore applies and Blue must keep clear.

The boats on the right are also overlapped, and on the same port tack and Blue being the windward boat must keep clear.

4746

RRS- The basics (cont.) Rule 12- on the same tack, not overlapped "When boats are on the same tack and not overlapped, a boat clear astern shall keep clear of a boat clear ahead".

Blue must keep clear

Rule 13- while tacking "After a boat passes head to wind she shall keep clear of other boats until she is on a close hauled course" head to wind

Yellow has passed head to wind and must keep clear until she is on a close hauled course

When a boat alters course to windward she is said to be “luffing”. When she passes head to wind she is said to be “tacking” until she reaches a close hauled course.

close hauled

RRS- The basics (cont.) Rule 14- avoiding contact “A boat must avoid contact with another boat if reasonably possible. Even a boat with right of way must try to avoid contact when it becomes clear to her that the other boat is not keeping clear”

In the diagram above, Yellow has ROW but Blue is not keeping clear and so breaks rule 10. If there is contact Blue also breaks Rule 14. But Yellow must also try to avoid contact by either luffing or bearing away as illustrated -otherwise she too might break rule 14. Rule 15- acquiring right of way “When a boat acquires right of way, she shall initially give the other boat room to keep clear, unless she acquires right of way because of the other boat's actions”

In the above diagram yellow is clear ahead and ROW. Blue is sailing faster than Yellow and becomes overlapped to leeward of Yellow and so the ROW changes to Blue. However, Blue must initially give Yellow room to keep clear.

4948

RRS- The basics (cont.) Rule 16- changing course “When a right of way boat changes course, she shall give the other boat room to keep clear.”

In the diagram above,Yellow (leeward & ROW) changes course to windward by luffing. Blue responds promptly by luffing and in so doing keeps clear. The ROW boat must give room for the other boat to keep clear and the other boat must respond promptly and do everything within reason to keep clear. The fore-going handy hints for rules 10 through 16 are intended to provide members with the bare essentials necessary to avoid contact with other boats whilst racing. There are, however, 28 rules in the "When boats meet" section of the rules, many of which limit or modify how rules 10 to 16 apply, such as at marks and obstructions. It is essential, therefore, that members become fully conversant with all the racing rules and so ensure everyone’s safe enjoyment of sailing.
